Ladies and Gentlemen…

Ladies and Gentlemen, couple days ago, a constituent of mine, State Trooper Ryan Albin, was -- life was taken in -- in -- on 3  STATE OF ILLINOIS 100th GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT 64th Legislative Day 6/30/2017 Interstate 74 in my district. And by all accounts, the thirty- seven-year-old from Bellflower, Illinois, which isn't too far away from where I live, was an absolutely great guy. The State Police, obviously, are -- are saddened by the loss of their friend, their colleague. All of those who serve us, the men and women who serve us in uniform every day, join in that sadness. But besides serving us, Ryan Albin also had, apparently, two children under the age of six. So let that be a stark reminder to all of us, the level of commitment, the level of integrity, and the level of dedication that anyone who wears the uniform has for our country, for our State, and for each of us. So, if I may, ask for a moment of silence in his honor, in his children's honor. And while we're at it, his K-9, Officer Biko, is at the veterinarian, still being treated for injuries. So maybe put in a good word for Biko's recovery as -- while we're at it. Thank you.
